UPCOMING IN DECEMBER:
TalkArt Deco in Rio de Janeiro

Tuesday, December 9, 6:30 PM

Speaker:

Márcio Alves Roiter, artist, President of Art Déco Brasil Institute

A point of reference for Art Deco in Latin America, Rio de Janeiro stimulates lovers of the style to wander the streets of the city attentive to gates, halls, entryways, façades and entire buildings. Brazil’s capital until 1960, the city lived its own “Belle Époque” at its apogee during the first half of the 20th century. Márcio Alves Roiter will give a lecture on Brazilian Art Deco and its aboriginal origins.

This program is organized in conjunction with the Art Deco Society of New York

CURRENT EXHIBITION

Carlos Cruz-Diez: (In)Formed by Color
Guest curator: Estrellita B. Brodsky 
Assistant curator: Isabela Villanueva

On view through Saturday, December 13, 2008
Gallery hours: Wednesday-Saturday 12:00-6:00 PM
Free Admission

Americas Society presents Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of Latin America’s Kinetic art masters, in his first solo show at a major United States cultural institution. Focusing on the relationship between color and perception, the exhibition seeks to correct the limited understanding and visibility of Cruz-Diez’s work in the United States.

Carlos Cruz-Diez: (In)Formed by Color features Cromosaturación, a site-specific environment designed by the artist for the Americas Society’s gallery. Initially conceived of in 1965, this groundbreaking artwork consists of three separate light-infused color chambers of red, green and blue. The real content of the work is the visitor’s experience of walking through the shifting chromatic space and interacting over time to his or her own physical movement. In addition the exhibition will include several early Fisicromías, a series of changeable chromatic structures that the artist initiated in 1959. These offer insight into the thinking process behind the artist’s exploration of the liberating, participatory experience of color projected into space. Barely known in the United States, Cruz-Diez is considered a pioneer in the use of color as a participatory tool as well as a visionary who pushed the boundaries of art towards everyday life.

The listed events are free and open to the public.

Americas Society is located at 680 Park Avenue at 68th Street, in New York City.
